I used to be an advocate of no equipment exercise. Yeah, of course, I thought all I gotta do is do pushups, and swim, and Ill be fine.
Apparently, that was before I saw infomercials and ventured inside a sports equipment house.
I was floored! There was like a hundred and one things I can burn my money on for keeping my body fit. And for a while, I watched more ads than an actual tv show, those that claim to burn my abs by rockin it and swinging it, with the Ab Roller, Ab swing and… Continue

For the first three days of the week, I was a fit and go guy.
I did whole body workouts and threw in 7 minute treadmill runs to complement my weights training.
Chest:
I had done various workouts already on my chest, each day in fact included pumping my chest and I can feel some muscle development on the upper pecs. My frustration is not getting the midline divide, deeply furrowed. I can blame it on genetics, but the answer is wrong. I increase my chest mass to make the furrow… Continue

I have been a happy gym visitor and actively use weights and machines as I like. Yet there are certain things gyms are in need of addressing, so that its clients won't complain and get turned off.

I have been working out since 1999, in my college days, and I have been instructed by by instructors and in fitness manuals: Always keep a record of what you did, and to keep track of my progress.

When I started in 1999, I was in a fitness gym called Milestone, that was located in a small hotel along Banawe street. I mainly worked out on free weights, that’s dumbbells and barbells, as well as some basic machines.
